Why are you singling out iPhones?

This sounds like yet another case of technology being asked to provide a 
solution to a social or political problem.  And that is generally a recipe 
if not for disaster, then bad feeling.

How about, and here's me just thinking completely off the top of my head 
for the first idea that comes to mind... the teacher asks people to turn 
their phones off?

If the request is regularly ignored, then local rules with defined 
sanctions should be implemented and enforced.
